CWS Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL

CWS Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors

We’re an independent CWS service provider handling repair and replacement of CWS windows and doors throughout Hollywood, FL. The CWS work we do here is different because Hollywood sits inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every window and door replacement has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval. That paperwork gap is what separates a job that passes inspection from one that stalls. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – literally. That means it gets done right.

Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for CWS Service

We’ve spent over 15 years working on CWS product lines, so we know what fails, what it costs to fix, and when replacement is the honest answer. Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and put in years in the field before putting his name on a truck. He learned the trade at Miami Dade College’s construction trades program, then spent the better part of two decades measuring, fitting, and standing behind every window and door his crew installs. Along Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas corridor, where salt air and hard Atlantic storms separate quality work from everything else, we learned exactly what CWS frames do after a decade of ocean exposure.

When you call Winslow Windows & Doors, a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop. Not a call center. Every tech arrives background-checked and in uniform. We’re locally owned, we’re owner-operated, and we serve Hollywood as neighbors, not as a ticket number.

Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hollywood

• Salt-air corrosion pitting on 6800 Series aluminum frames. Hollywood’s Broadwalk corridor puts ocean salt directly onto window frames. We regularly see pitting in the jamb tracks and sill weep holes of CWS 6800 Series single and double hung units within 10 to 15 years. The sashes bind, the weep holes clog, and water backs up into the track.
• Failed spring balances in double hung units. In older Hollywood condos, original CWS balances were never upgraded. A sash that drops or won’t stay open is almost always a snapped spring. We replace them with marine-grade stainless balances that fit the original profile.
• Worn roller assemblies and delaminated vinyl glazing beads on horizontal rollers. Direct ocean breeze does a number on CWS 2500 Series horizontal rollers. The rollers wear flat, the windows jump track, and the vinyl beads around the glass start to peel. Air leaks follow.
• Deteriorated glazing gaskets and missing setting blocks on fixed windows. CWS 4500 Series fixed windows on beachfront buildings are hitting 40-year recertification with gaskets that have turned brittle and setting blocks that cracked. Structural inspectors flag these, and for good reason.
• Non-impact original aluminum frames flagged by recertification engineers. This is the big one in Hollywood right now. Many 1960s to 1980s condo towers along the Broadwalk still have original non-impact CWS frames, and SB 4-D recertification reports are calling them out for replacement with HVHZ-rated impact units.

CWS Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Hollywood’s beachfront condo corridor is under a wave of mandatory 40-year structural recertifications triggered by Florida’s SB 4-D legislation. Many associations are replacing original CWS aluminum single hung and horizontal roller windows with HVHZ-rated impact units because the structural engineer’s report specifically calls out non-impact frames. In those buildings, the ability to pull a permit with the correct Miami-Dade NOA documentation already on file is what gets the job scheduled before lower-priced competitors who can’t show compliance. We keep those documents ready. Contractors working the Broadwalk corridor quickly learn that the scope is set by the inspector’s report, not the homeowner, and a contractor who fumbles the paperwork loses the job. We don’t fumble. Our techs carry CWS-specific hardware and extrusion profiles to match existing frames without guessing, and for discontinued older lines we use marine-grade aftermarket stainless balances, rollers, and weatherstripping that meet HVHZ durability standards. If the frame is pitted beyond repair or the glass isn’t impact-rated and recertification is due, we tell you straight: full replacement with a current CWS-compatible impact unit. Not a patch.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Hollywood

Can you match the exact CWS 6800 Series aluminum frames in my Hollywood condo, and will the replacement meet the 40-year recertification standard? Yes. We match the existing extrusion profile using CWS OEM components when available, and for discontinued profiles we use marine-grade aftermarket hardware that holds the same dimensions. Full replacements are installed with HVHZ-rated products and the Miami-Dade NOA documentation your structural engineer and HOA will ask for. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll pull your building’s specific requirements before quoting.

My CWS horizontal roller window jumps off its track when I open it. Is that repairable, or am I looking at a full replacement? Usually repairable. Jumping off track is almost always worn roller assemblies or a bent track, not a failed frame. We replace the rollers with stainless marine-grade units and realign the track in place. If the frame itself is pitted from salt corrosion, that’s the point where we’ll be honest with you about replacement. Call (904) 913-5886 for a straight answer after we see the window.

Do you install impact-rated CWS windows that will satisfy my Hollywood HOA’s special assessment for 40-year recertification? Yes. We pull permits with the correct NOA documentation already on file, which is what most Hollywood condo boards are demanding before they approve a contractor for a compliance-driven replacement. We’ve handled full stack replacements along the Broadwalk where the association voted to replace every original CWS unit in the line. Estimates are free, and we’ll give you the documentation your board wants at the first meeting, not the third. Call (904) 913-5886.

My original CWS fixed windows on the oceanfront are fogging between the panes. Can you just replace the glass, or do the frames need to go too? Fogging means the seal has failed and moisture is inside the insulated glass unit. On CWS 4500 Series fixed windows, the glass can often be replaced while keeping the original frame, provided the frame itself is structurally sound and not flagged for impact compliance. If recertification is pending and the glass isn’t impact-rated, replacement of the full unit is the honest path. We’ll tell you which applies after we inspect. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free assessment.

Will you use CWS OEM parts, or aftermarket? My building is very original and I want everything to match. We prioritize CWS OEM hardware and extrusions whenever they’re available. For discontinued older lines, we use marine-grade aftermarket stainless balances, rollers, and weatherstripping that match the original profile and meet HVHZ durability standards. We never substitute a part that changes the look or operation of your window without telling you first. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll walk you through exactly what goes into your repair.
